Has below-average speed.

Base running:

It's not a part of his game.

Arm strength:

He has a fringy-average arm.

Fielding:

He's adequate, at best, at first.

Range:

Has one-step range and will be limited to first base only.

Physical Description:

Poythress is a big-bodied guy, like a Ryan Shealy or a Matt LeCroy.

Medical Update:

Healthy.

Strengths:

Big-time power.

Weaknesses:

Power is his only tool. He's a limited-range first baseman who doesn't have great bat speed.

Summary:

There's no question some teams will be intrigued by the monster numbers Poythress is putting up in the competitive SEC. Power is his calling card, but with a lack of great bat speed, there is some question how well it will play at the next level. There's no other part of his game that stands out, so someone will have to believe in his power to take him.
